Book Thoughts: Dog Diaries: Happy Howlidays! (Patterson)

  • part of hilarious series, written from the dog’s perspective
    (it’s not needed, but you might want to read Book #1 first for context)
  • all sorts of made up words that can easily be deciphered by the reader
    (there is also a glossary for them)
  • one image exaggerates the mom’s anger by making her look like a devil
  • language: x2 butt, frequent “pee & poop” talk
  • tone of book is hyper and energized

Type: chapter book
Ages: 8-11
Author: James Patterson, Steven Butler
Illustrator: Richard Watson

Surely this book will never make a “classics” list, with its doses of crudeness and silliness, but it is a light, fun read. Kids find it hilarious.
